Much (but not all) of the Philosophical Gourmet Report for 2017-18 is now live

So the notice about breach of contract I sent Wiley-Blackwell last night had a salutary effect (I sent it after posting this, since I was annoyed about the delay which violated the terms of the contract), namely, that much of the material that Berit Brogaard and Christopher Pynes sent to them in January is now live! (I assume Sally Haslanger and David Velleman, or others who publish private e-mails, will post this one before long!) Revisions will be occurring over the next week--for example, the evaluators in each specialty area are not listed yet (though the full list of evaluators is available). The default setting, currently, on the specialty rankings is just for the first four programs listed; that will change, but readers should choose "50" to make sure they see the full array of programs, ranked by rounded mean (not ordinally).

In any case, thanks to the good efforts and hard work of Professors Brogaard and Pynes, as well as the contributions of hundreds of philosophers, the key evaluative data is now available for students (and faculty). I'll post more about the results over the coming weeks.
